Sommario/riassunto |
|
This collection reclaims public intellectuals and scholars important to the foundational work in American Studies that contributed to emerging conceptions of an ""ecological citizenship"" advocating something other than nationalism or an ""exclusionary ethics of place."" Co-editors Adamson and Ruffin recover underrecognized field genealogies in American Studies (i.e. the work of early scholars whose scope was transnational and whose activism focused on race, class and gender) and ecocriticism (i.e. the work of movement leaders, activists and scholars concerned with environmental justice who |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Pendant plus de trente ans, Adorno a nourri le projet d’une monographie consacrée à Beethoven, que sa disparition brutale en 1969 ne lui a pas permis d’achever. Collectés dans ses carnets et complétés par des extraits d’œuvres publiées, les fragments réunis dans ce volume permettent de cerner l’armature de cette « philosophie de la musique » inédite. Passant avec virtuosité des analyses musicales les plus fines à l’interprétation philosophique la plus audacieuse, Adorno déchiffre dans la musique de Beethoven le destin contrasté des Lumières au moment où le capitalisme prend son essor. Il donne également à la contemporanéité de Beethoven et de Hegel (tous deux nés en 1770) un sens philosophique décisif, qui éclaire l’affinité élective qui dans toute son œuvre unit musique et philosophie.

aux analyses consacrées au « style tardif » de Beethoven, elles sont devenues, en un temps où le sentiment de l’après n’a peut-être jamais été aussi vif, une référence incontournable. Si Adorno a souvent été présenté comme le porte-parole de Schoenberg, ces textes et fragments montrent à quel point toute sa philosophie de la musique, si ce n’est l’ensemble de sa pensée, gravite autour de ce foyer qui porte le nom de Beethoven. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
An essential responsibility of the U.S. Congress is holding the president accountable for the conduct of foreign policy. In this in-depth look at formal oversight hearings by the Senate Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, Linda Fowler evaluates how the legislature's most visible and important watchdogs performed from the mid-twentieth century to the present. She finds a noticeable reduction in public and secret hearings since the mid-1990s and establishes that American foreign policy frequently violated basic conditions for democratic accountability. Committee scrutiny of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, she notes, fell below levels of oversight in prior major conflicts.Fowler attributes the drop in watchdog activity to growing disinterest among senators in committee work, biases among members who join the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, and motives that shield presidents, particularly Republicans, from public inquiry. Her detailed case studies of the Truman Doctrine, Vietnam War, Panama Canal Treaty, humanitarian mission in Somalia, and Iraq War illustrate the importance of oversight in generating the information citizens need to judge the president's national security policies. She argues for a reassessment of congressional war powers and proposes reforms to encourage Senate watchdogs to improve public deliberation about decisions of war and peace.Watchdogs on the Hill investigates America's national security oversight and its critical place in the review of congressional and presidential powers in foreign policy. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Advances in Ecopolitics Series" presents a collection of environmental alternatives worthy of consideration in light of the ongoing economic downturn which has accompanied the latest incarnation of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unsustainable practices. Each publication discusses a significant element in the environmental theory which now represents an important aspect of sustainable living. The latest volume, "Global Ecological Politics", examines the range of environmental campaigns that are occurring across the planet. It showcases a selection of case studies on grassroots initiatives and activism in areas such as green economic alternatives, regional activism in defence of communities, alternative or utopian communities, green politics and ecotourism. This extensive array of ecological participation demonstrates that viable green alternatives are available in this current era of legitimation crisis across the formal political and economic sectors. "Global Ecological Politics" presents an important collection of articles for researchers, lecturers and academics in the socio-economic and political sector and is essential reading for those involved in all areas of environmentalism. |
